I loved the video, learned so much from it. I wanted to add to the first scenario with the given settings RR 18 Vt 600 the Ve comes out to 10.8 L. Increasing the RR to 20 we now get a Ve of 12 L which will help correct the CO2 and bring the pH up. Increasing the Vt to 650 we get a Ve of 11.7 L slightly less than the first option. Great video as always, what I learned was to use the IBW formula when the weight, height, and sex is given. Initially when doing the problem I just used the kg given, and ignored the other information.

I love your videos thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge! I have a question, I’ve been studying in my Kettering book , is setting the tidal volume range 5-10ml/kg then picking a numbers that’s typically in the middle of that 5-10 , is that acceptable as well ? That’s what the Kettering book was stating so I am just a little confused . This might be a stupid question because a range of 6-8 would kind of be “ in the middle “ of the 5-10 ml/kg that Kettering states to use . Sorry if this is confusing. I take my TMC test on Saturday 😳

I kinda disagree with the second question, cuz increasing Vt will not do recruitment of the altelactic alveoli , in my opinion increasing PEEP would be optimal answer cuz once you recruit the closed alveoli your Vt ( which still in normal range ) will do the trick . What do u think ?

@RespiratoryCoach 2 жыл бұрын

I would have to re-watch the content of the video, but based on TMC rules, as long as tidal volume is within the 6-8 ml/kg range then respiratory rate is the answer when adjusting for ventilation impairments. Thanks for watching and commenting with your question.

@matty00926 3 жыл бұрын

Why not just increase the Vt to 650 which is within range still? doesn't a higher rr bring dead space issues into play? Or bring the potential for synchrony issues? Interesting practice question for sure!

@rebelliousink9085 3 жыл бұрын

Increasing the tidal volume will also help with the oxygenation too

@RespiratoryCoach 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Matthew. The to the point answer is because TMC rules say that once tidal volume is in range then the next step is to adjust RR. Tidal volume was already in the 6-8 ml/kg range, so RR is the correct answer. However, you bring up a great discussion. This is actually the discussion that took place that lead me to post this question. So let's break it down. Anatomical deadspace for this patient is approx. 185 mL, now some of that is bypassed with the ETT, but then the ETT creates mechanical deadspace. So let's just go with 185 mL of deadspace. If we leave tidal volume at 600 and increase the rate to 20, then we'll achieve an alveolar minute ventilation of 8.3L. If we stay at 18 and increase the tidal volume to 650, we'll achieve an alveolar minute ventilation of 8.37L. Not a significant difference in regards to the deadspace conversation. To the other person that commented about tidal volume helping with oxygenation also,remember hypoxemia is responsive to adequate ventilation. This is different than a shunt. So either way we go here we'll increase alveolar minute ventilation to essentially the same level, which will decrease CO2, increase pH, and also increase O2. Remember the TMC rules when taking your test. Great conversation! Thank you for kicking it off!!

@matty00926 3 жыл бұрын

@@RespiratoryCoach Hey that makes sense in the context of the question, and I know what you mean in regards to the answer that test questioner makers are looking for! It's kind of an odd question because I would assume that each patient has unique considerations, and they don't give any information as to if this person has an obstructive or restrictive lung disease, or some other consideration like if they are breathing over the set rate...which is quite possible if they're in the hospital!!

@joseepion3775 2 жыл бұрын

I understand that the TMC rules state that if you are within the 6-8mls/ kg range then you should adjust the Rate first, however I am curious, I was taught a trick that if you do the rate multiplied by the current PCO2 divided by the next wanted CO2, that you get your approximate required rate. for example, in this case if I wanted to decrease to a PCO2 of 50 I would do (56 x 18) / 50. and the rate required would then be 22. so changing the rate to 20 wouldn't be sufficient to change the PCO2 to an acceptable level. I suppose it is better to just follow the TMC rules when answering these questions, but just wondering if you ever use this calculation, and is it possible that it is actually applicable to my clinical practice and will it yield accurate results?

@RespiratoryCoach 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Josee! That formula is 100% applicable. In demonstrating a rule, I didn't go down that route, but you are correct! Using the stated formula can help you target an appropriate RR to achieve a desired CO2. Absolutely!
